PGL has officially announced the 12 invited teams for PGL Wallachia Season 7, confirming the return of its flagship Dota 2 event to Bucharest from March 7 to 15, with a total prize pool of $1 million and a full 16 team lineup.

The tournament marks the second Wallachia event since The International 2026, following Mouz’s dramatic title win at Season 6, and once again places PGL Studios at the centre of the early 2026 competitive calendar.

All Invited Teams For PGL Wallachia Season 7

PGL confirmed the following 12 teams have received direct invitations to Wallachia Season 7:

  • BetBoom
  • Aurora
  • Team Falcons
  • Team Liquid
  • Natus Vincere
  • OG Esports
  • Parivision
  • Team Spirit
  • Tundra Esports
  • Mouz
  • Team Yandex
  • Xtreme Gaming

These invites cover many of the strongest international contenders, ensuring a high level of competition before a single qualifier has even concluded.

Four Closed Qualifier Spots Still Up For Grabs

The remaining four slots will be decided through regional Closed Qualifiers in the Americas, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Asia.

Several notable teams are expected to contest those places. In the Americas, GamerLegion and Heroic headline the field. Western Europe features Virtus.pro and Nigma Galaxy, while Eastern Europe includes 1Win and Avulus. Asian qualifiers are set to feature Rekonix, Vici Gaming, and Team Nemesis among others.

Mouz Return As Defending Wallachia Champions

Mouz enter the tournament as reigning Wallachia champions after edging Team Spirit 3-2 in a tense Season 6 Grand Final. However, their recent form has been mixed. At BLAST Slam V, Mouz finished in the 3rd to 4th range, falling to eventual champions Tundra Esports in the semi-finals.

That result sets up a potential rematch narrative, with Tundra arriving in strong form and clearly capable of challenging for the title.

Key Roster And Staff Storylines To Watch

Several teams arrive with notable changes or unresolved questions. BetBoom will see the return of coach Anatoly “boolk” Ivanov to the active lineup after being benched in September, a move that could significantly impact their preparation and in-game structure.

Team Spirit, meanwhile, remain without a coach following the benching of Airat “Silent” Gaziev. While rumours continue to circulate around Filipe “Astini” Ribeiro potentially joining the organisation, no official confirmation has been made ahead of the event.

OG Esports also arrive with a symbolic change, as this will be the first Wallachia event featuring their return to green jerseys after ending their near decade-long partnership with Red Bull.

PGL Wallachia Season 7 Format And Prize Pool Details

PGL Wallachia Season 7 will take place at PGL Studios in Bucharest, Romania, running from March 7 to 15.

The tournament features a $1,000,000 prize pool, with $300,000 awarded to the champions.

All 16 teams will compete in a full Best of 3 Swiss stage, where the top eight teams advance and the bottom eight are eliminated. The playoffs will use a double-elimination Best of 3 bracket, culminating in a Best of 5 Grand Final to decide the champion.

Why Wallachia Season 7 Matters

With elite teams returning, unresolved roster questions, and four open qualifier slots still to be filled, PGL Wallachia Season 7 is shaping up as one of the most competitive Dota 2 events of early 2026. The mix of established champions, evolving lineups, and regional hopefuls makes the Bucharest event a key checkpoint before the season fully settles.
